First off, Dierks Bentley's new CD is all kinds of awesome and if you like good music, I highly recommend you download the whole thing.  Also, there is an awesome 22 minute behind the scenes look at the making of Riser  that includes the birth of his son from the hospital on Fios On Demand under CMT.  Pretty adorable. However, if you only want a taste, I recommend you download the songs in this order: 1.  Say You Do Don't worry about the damage done Just let those words roll off your tongue Even if you're lyin' If you really don't mean it, I don't care If you need a little buzz to get you there Then baby I'm buyin' 2.  Hurt Somebody Girl, you're gonna hurt somebody Make somebody bleed Girl, you're gonna hurt somebody God, I hope it's me 3.  Damn These Dreams I remember hearin' Hank on the radio The first time it felt like fallin' in love Like seriously, how good is that lyric?  L...

First, this is fun. I'm always House Stark even if I'm running out of Starks. Thoughts on the first episode of Season 4 (Spoiler Alert). I loved the Mountain and Arya in the book and I love them on the show.  Arya's murderous streak was fun to see.  She just had her mother and brother killed at the Twins so eventually a girl's going to snap. Every time they mention Robb's head sewn onto Grey Wind's body I have the same punched-in-the-gut reaction that I had when I read it in the book.  Although when I read it in the book, I threw the book across the room and refused to read it for a month. I love the change of Jamie from the beginning of the book as the "Kingslayer" to the rescuer of Brienne to the voice of reason in House Lannister. Tyrion was awesome as always and I was excited to finally meet Oberin from House Martell.  Oberyn has even more swagger than I thought he would.  He also has the best nickname, perhaps ever, with The Red Vip...

I've read a lot about toughness over the past few days in the wake of Rich Peverley's scary incident on Monday night.  Many have lauded Peverley for his toughness of asking to leave the ambulance and return to the game.  You've probably seen this: Personally, I'm a huge fan of anything that makes fun of Lebron so I did giggle when I saw this, but I also really liked Bruce Arthur's take on toughness in sports ( Found here ).  He brings up that while Peverley was asking to go back in, rookie line mate Alex Chaisson stayed home in Dallas as well, too shaken up from seeing Peverley's incident to travel with the team.  In the wake of the Game 6 seventeen second loss, it was almost comforting in a way to hear about Bergeron playing through his myriad of injuries.  A way to know through the disappointment, the players we root for want it as bad as we do.  Should players be playing with injuries that require multiple nerve blocking injections be taking the ic...

This is from earlier in the night....All the teams did tweet some #thoughtsandprayers
